Dmitry | Relationships Guide

Sex. The social stigma is still too strong. Up to 74.2% of sexless marriages end in divorce. Still, no one wants to talk about it. It took us 15 years just to start talking about this productively. Here are 8 harsh truths about sex I wish I knew at the beginning.

@thriveminds1 This is indeed so!

Something that's suck in my head since reading The Courage to Be Disliked, "all problems are interpersonal problems." The longer you delay dealing with the relationships in your life, the more problems stack.

“I’m just protecting my peace.” 🚨 That’s how people often justify procrastinating when it comes to dealing with relationship problems. But every time you “protect your peace” in this way… You’re planting the charge of a bomb. 💣 A bomb that will go off later—with far more unpredictable and destructive consequences. Just because you’ve tried before and failed doesn’t mean it’s time to pretend the problem doesn’t exist. It likely just means the approach you took wasn’t the right one. And this is precisely the moment to seek help from professionals.

@thebsofe Absolutely, Chris! 😎

@Naararouter Sometimes the hardest conversations lead to the best outcomes.

@andersvraa Indeed, doing it wrong...many many times, but still a bit better than before with each new attempt 💪

Greatness isn’t about getting it right. It’s about doing it wrong and still showing up tomorrow.

@andersvraa Super truth, Anders! 👏

@Naararouter Great insight, Dmitry. Breaking free from negative patterns starts with a conscious choice to step away from the habits that keep us trapped. Small, consistent actions lead to lasting change.

Everything else is a SCAM. If you notice yourself stuck in ANY negative pattern in your life, remember this: there’s no simpler (and yet no harder) way to break the “loop” than to STOP ENGAGING in the behaviors that feed that pattern.

@AdrianTenet Indeed, Adrian! Long time no see! 😅

@Naararouter Hi Dmitry, I just wrote about that the other day. It’s hard to observe these patterns, once you do, grow is unlimited!

Happy New Year, my dear friends 🎊🥳🎈

@Naararouter You can never go wrong with flowers.

If you could choose only one gift for a woman, what would it be? A) Flowers OR B) A gift card to a cosmetics store

@itscristabraun I meant I saw each of them only in a supermarket 😅

@Naararouter The real ones of which one?

Bananas, grapes, mangoes… Just some of the fresh fruit I’m enjoying here. The sweetness is incredible compared to store-bought versions.

@B_Lifethology Darn, Blazka! So cool! So happy for you 😊

On a day like this I feel Life in every cell of my body, joy in every beat of my heart and gratitude in every thought. This is my kind of therapy! ❄️🌞

@Theholisticpsyc Oh, just recently described this experience

New Generational Wealth: having a father who cries, expresses his emotions, and comforts you when you express yours.

@Shefali__J Ops 😅

I accidently pressed some keys and now my vscode cursor has grown in size. Couldn't find how to fix this🤷‍♀️ How do I get it back to normal?

@2sush Kind of 😸

our salary is just our company's monthly subscription of us

@thedankoe Maybe not one, still it's not an excuse to stop. Make mistakes, analyze, do it again, win 🙌

@GiaMMacool Looks like an another vicious cycle.

Modern men would rather be called f-boys than be called husband material. Calling a man “husband material” is like calling him predictable and dependable. Men don’t want those labels attached to them anymore. They want to be a “player,” and “exciting,” now. But you can be both! modern men and women are becoming increasingly one dimensional. Which takes them farther away from becoming desirable which involves being a well-rounded human being.

@drgurner Don't listen those who doesn't have what you want. Even if someone has what you want, it doesn’t mean they can effectively teach you how to achieve it. Be mindful when choosing your mentors and teachers.

People overestimate how hard change is, because they listen to people who don't have agency in their own life. They underestimate what is possible, because they are listening to inaccurate reporters.

@VexKing This is the stage that everyone need to pass through. It's okay. It's time to accept and move forward.

The first person you need to forgive for treating others poorly when you felt broken is yourself.

@markmanson It's not possible to please everyone. Please yourself first.

If you're afraid that establishing a boundary with someone will upset somebody, that's the evidence that the boundary is needed in the first place.

@RDelaney All of this often goes hand in hand with perfectionism—dangerously toxic friends.

Workaholism is a disease of the nervous system.
